what are compatable engines?

That "claimed" 10hp is only really due to the Ram air system that was added to the F3. Unless your ripping the road up near top speeds, you will never feel that power difference.

And that's a very good thing. Here's what I wrote the last time someone asked about putting an F3 engine in an F2.
Hope I can help a bit here. Use the F2 carbs and airbox. It's the best option. Here's why.
In order to get the F3 carbs to work right, you have to use the ram air system. That included all the hose, ram air scoop, F3 airbox, those other little air intake things, I forget what they are called right now, but they pressurize the carbs float bowls. It's a mess of hoses and peices and it all has to be hooked up exactly right in order to work right. In addition, you'll need a fuel pump, pump relay, a fuse, and wiring to wire that up, like F3's do since you can't gravity feed the carbs any more.
But here's the upside of the conversion. You've added weight to the bike. You've added complexing. you've got more things that can fail and leave you stranded 75 miles from home. The ram air blocks the lower triples, so forget using your frontend stand any more. And finally, for all your hard work, money, time and effort, you've added ZERO hp by doing this. It's a complete waste.
